. it is amazing to me that natalie jackson involved in this case was representing sherman ware and now deny's george's impact on bringing that case to the forefront. >> sean: not exactly compatible what you are describing here with somebody that is a racist. let me ask you this. you had the ruling today. has been quiet in the case. this is going to heat up. national attention is going be drawn to this. the president has gotten involved. give us the latest and where are you go from here and for example what does george do? is his life totally on hold and now at the mercy of a jury at this point or do you have a chance to get this thrown out earlier? >> the motion to continue was denied. the jum judge believes we have enough time. we will abide by the ruling. i don't know how we will get ready for this case in the time we have left. i like ten to someone tell youth you are going build a 14 story building and you three months to do it. that could be set to be done but i don't know how it will be accomplished. really difficult realizeing that the key fence fund which is really hopeful on the su

when jesse jackson had to hold his nose and go to damascus to beg for the release of an american pilot who had been shot down by the syrians. drones are clearly the wave of the future because they save american lives, but they're also effective for surveillance. they have far greater use than simply the kind of fighters we've used, and we actually also use them for domestic purposes. they were reportedly used in the case of the 5-year-old who was held in alabama. they have been used for weather. there are an estimated 8,000 drones, so although it's part of the most secret program, military program, we have, there are also other uses. >> which starts to frighten folks domestically. good thing with the outcome of that alabama case, but some folks think their civil liberties are about to be infringed upon at home. dan, i know from your reporting and the book you wrote, there was more debate within this administration about the transparency aspect of it than there was whether they would engage in a drone program. explain that. >> well, that's exactly right, and that comes up significantly

of the union is the campers people who camped along the aisle. >> shake the president's hand. >> sheila jackson lee is the classic state of the union camper. like the people who wait for the star wars movie dress up in a costume. she is waiting. if obama dares pats her without giving her a big hug is he done. okay? wants to be scene. we have serious problems facing this country this is a hollow gesture. not going to learn anything. is he going to say what he he wants and they will all jump up and applaud. and then republican also sit there like this. >> stone faced. i just hope one of the supreme court justices finally gets up and just, you know, says something at some point. alito moment? >> bill: most of them can't get up. even if they want to get up they can't bill. >> they are not. so mean. this is like the golden globes, the oscars, this is the equivalent really of all of that in washington. like the white house correspondence dinner and state of the union morphed into one event. >> illegal immigrant over here. then we have this person over there. >> bill: whole line up of people. all sitt

bone at all. >> so good with the rhyming. >> i know. jesse jackson, watch out. jonathan, thanks, buddy. >>> what's going on in washington is truly outrageous. it's time to shake things up. >> all right. you really have to love your country a lot to risk embarrassing yourself a lot, but that guy in the white wig figured it's a silly dance. we'll get people talking about all this spending and if he can get a partner like former budget boss alice redlynn to join him in the same dance, she's in the big old hat, what the heck. it worked for alan simpson when he was willing to dance for a cause. we'll wake folks up to addressing something serious now. both videos urge stop kicking the can down the former u.s. senator david walker will happily shake to that cause any time. david, a couple of things i discovered about you. you're comfortable in your own skin, and you can't dance. i will. >> we have that in common. you and me both. >> one of the things i liked about this is you were really with a little bit of humor alerting people, particularly young people to a problem right in front of our e

have news to report about that race. it's for congressman jesse jackson jr.'s old seat in illinois, which he resigned. it's a heavily democratic district. whoever wins the democratic primary a week from tonight is widely expected to win the seat. that's why at the outset, 17 different democrats said they would like a chance at this one. 17. however, over the weekend that primary field got less crowded in a significant way when illinois state senator toi hutchinson, one of the front-runners, dropped out of the race. the important context here is this. new york city mayor mike bloomberg's superpac has spent $2 million and counting on pro-gun reform ads in this district. on friday, the pac launched this ad, calling out toi hutchinson by name for having an "a" rating with the nra. the other under pressure for the same reasons is debbie halvorson, who also got an "a" rating from the nra. debbie halvorson responded by including gun safety as an issue for her campaign. there it, the second thing on her issues page, gun control and gun safety. debbie halverson also posted this open letter

in the race for jesse jackson's now vacated seat and is actually trying to prove the point that, hey, if there is a pro-gun lobby, there is a gun safety lobby that hopefully can be as effective. >> yeah. i mean, those of us that don't like citizens united have our questions about anybody pouring all that money in any ways. however, if you are going to be able to do it, this is doing it to make a very effective point, and he really has forced gun control into that race as perhaps the central issue, and i think when we take a step back, yes, you are quite right. i was talking about that beast with two heads metaphor in my head. you are quite right. we are moving in different directions, but in 20 years it's been 20 years since we had this much pressure to pass sane gun laws, and i think we always have to keep our eye on that big thing. as katrina mentioned, there is an extremely good chance that we're going to get universal background checks. there is a decent chance that we will get a ban on the big magazines. there is a pretty good chance that we will get new gun trafficking laws. th

the underworld, to the world of privilege. >> everyone in michael jackson's life was out to use him. (vo) no one brings you more documentaries that are real, gripping, current. [ music ] >> this is "the full court press: the bill press show," live on your radio and on current tv. >> bill: here we go now 25 minutes after the hour nobody knows the foreign policy issues better, more in depth than joe ciriycone from the plow shares fund. you can find out all of the rest of the stuff plow shares is working on at their website, ploughshares.org. english spelling. we were talking about the chuck hagel and what he might do with the defense budget. i mean there are cuts coming for sure. can defense department survive that? >> it continual you heard leon pan ittetetta say it would be traumatic for the defense department. sequestration is almost certainly going to happen. but there is an upside that it forces choices. there are some turkeys there that are now probably going to get killed. one of them in particular is the plutoneian fuel plant, lindsey graham's home state that

said david faber said it's 50, could be 50. >> bo jackson used to do that a lot, too, didn't he. he had a reason to. because he was the most unbelievable athlete of all-time. >> this is a global deal. i know we're woe is me europe, do i want to own a european cable company if europe's falling off the cliff? someone smarter than me says yes. >> john malone is smarter than you. >> hey, david. >> i feel so -- >> way to put a man down. as soon as he comes back. >> how about he's a close second. >> that's pretty good. >> i feel so much better. >> impact on markets of a del, lbo, if in fact that's what we get in the near term here. >> there was a moment where it would have been fanciful. it's too big. we heard that from you initially. it's too big. we may be in an ajr moment. >> i don't think so. listen, the reason we thought it was too big was because the equity check is when you would have penciled it out enormous. at the end of the -- when we see the deal, which we expect to shortly, we'll see that the equity check was far smaller. and so i don't think it argues for -- >> i remember when y

second amendment rights is trying to win a special election to fill the seat vacated by jesse jackson, jr. and this is right in president obama's hometown back yard, outside of chicago. we're hearing reports she's facing strong opposition from members of her own party for being a pro gun lawmaker. and joining me debby who would like be the congresswoman from chicago. >> hello thank you for having me. >> megyn: we're told that david axelrod, a spokesperson from president obama's campaign and supported you in the congressional runs, turning against you because of your stance on the second amendment and it's not like you are pro gun on every issue, you want stronger background checks, but you're not completely in line with their policies and boy, have they turned on you. your thoughts on it? >> and it's not just them. i think what started it is billionaire mayor from new york coming in with 1.3 million dollars in ads over the last couple of weeks and i think it's not fair that the mayor from new york coming in to buy a house race. and he has, you know, thought that he and everybody else coul
